Roundtable: Practical AI in Biotech: Use Cases, Investments, and Early Lessons

Session details:

Biotech companies are under increasing pressure to move beyond AI experimentation and focus on where it can deliver real operational value. This roundtable will bring together biotech leaders to share how they are evaluating AI use cases, prioritizing limited investments, and navigating early adoption. Discussion will focus on what is working in practice, where expectations are outpacing reality, and the key challenges organizations face when implementing AI within the constraints of clinical development environments.

• Evaluating AI use cases: identifying where AI can deliver measurable operational impact

• Prioritizing investments: balancing innovation ambition with resource constraints

• Early-stage adoption: real-world examples of pilots and initial deployments

• Implementation challenges: overcoming data, workflow, and organizational barriers to scale
